I have been looking around for a pack with all the heroes so i could try them out but i have been unable to find any. So if someone would be so kind to post a link to such a pack, if it exists, i would be very happy.

Hey! I am surprised I never came back to post here... Well probably 'cuz it was a long-dead topic in a ghost-town forum. Oh welp.

I have some fond memories of this Contest; my first real, major Contest. Pitting myself against the Big League-rs, with an awexome Big League-r as my companion... Whatta rush.

Can't say my hero entry has stood the test of time. Looking back, I'm ashamed I fell for using so many buffs (and especially knowing what I know now (but thought I knew then) about Buffs Not Stacking...

And while I am not ashamed about using GUI, I wish I had given more thought to my entry as a whole. Definitely some good preparation for remaking him in a custom race sometime in the future.

Now to respond uselessly to some posts:

Kyrbi0 just demonstrated what GUI can do when used well, but obviously GUI code is crap a lot of times.

Honestly, that's how I figured things would go; probably should've realized that here at Wc3C, GUI is really, incredibly hated. Over at the Hive I've run a Joint Hero Contest (inspired greatly by this one) where I tried to solve that 'problem'.
